So, having just flown back to UT (family still in AZ) yesterday, I resolved to go exploring. A number of people suggested Antelope Island for good snowy trails. I have been out there before (twice) but never to run. I was also excited to test out my new winter running gear: a Bjorn Daehlie Ambition Hat, Buffs neck\/balaclava\/bandana stretchy thing, Altra trail gaiters, Patagonia Houdini windbreaker, IO-Merino Wool Chaser half-zip base layer, etc&#8230; Long story short, the gear worked amazingly &#8211; all of it. However it was mid-30s, sunny, and no wind&#8230;and I got way overheated.<\/p>\n\n<!-- iframe plugin v.6.0 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe height=\"405\" width=\"590\" frameborder=\"0\" allowtransparency=\"true\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"http:\/\/www.strava.com\/activities\/236238933\/embed\/126cfe6331cd3edd2538963f84bb9326b1f3eca4\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n\n<p>It was gorgeous and the trails were in amazing condition &#8211; nice softpacked snow. No ice. Little to no mud.<\/p>\n<p>My plan was to run the Buffalo 25k course, but that was quickly altered to a short 7 mile loop up above White Rock Bay due to some extreme IT Band pain. The knee problem flared a couple weeks ago during my 29 miler in AZ and I didn&#8217;t have a foam roller down there to work on it. Clearly, it didn&#8217;t solve itself.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it was gorgeous. A real stark beauty. And, I saw a ton of other trail runners out there &#8211; which is always fun.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_878\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-878\" style=\"width: 676px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3377.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-878 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3377-1024x1024.jpg?resize=640%2C640&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_3377\" width=\"640\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3377.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3377.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3377.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3377.jpg?resize=676%2C676&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/darkgoldenrod-hedgehog-874350.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3377.jpg?w=1280 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/darkgoldenrod-hedgehog-874350.hostingersite.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3377.jpg?w=1920 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-878\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Snow Cactus<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"attachment_879\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-879\" style=\"width: 676px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3381.jpg?ssl=1\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-879 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3381-768x1024.jpg?resize=640%2C853&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"IMG_3381\" width=\"640\" height=\"853\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3381.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3381.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3381.jpg?resize=676%2C901&amp;ssl=1 676w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3381.jpg?w=960&amp;ssl=1 960w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-879\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Trailfie<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.professorontherun.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/IMG_3387.jpg\"><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>While in Arizona for the last couple weeks I have been drooling over all of the beautiful snow-running pictures my Utah friends have been posting.
